A woman had to be rescued Thursday morning after attempting to drive her vehicle through a flooded roadway in central Iowa, officials said.

The woman tried driving her Jeep Cherokee across a flooded section of Utica Trail near the Madison County line when her Jeep began filling with water, an official with the Dallas County Sheriff's office said.

She called 911 around 6:30 a.m. and was instructed to sit on the roof of her Jeep while waiting for rescue crews to arrive.

The woman, rescued around 7:15 a.m., was uninjured, authorities said.

The sheriff's office is advising anyone who comes across a flooded roadway to turn around.
